Mentoring and Research in Integrative Medicine

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个拟议的K24奖博士弗雷德里克赫克特，医学教授在加州大学（UCSF），并在UCSF奥舍中心的研究主任中西医结合。赫克特博士是一名内科医生，接受过临床流行病学博士后培训。他是T32资助的UCSF中西医结合研究培训（TRIM）奖学金计划的主任，也是NCCAM资助的CAM研究PO 1卓越中心的首席研究员，该中心研究冥想的代谢和免疫影响。他指导了超过25名博士后研究员和初级教师，并发表了130多篇同行评议的文章。Hecht的目标是每年在TRIM计划中指导四名博士后和两名博士前研究员，担任一半的主要导师。他将指导一个由五到七名初级教师组成的常规小组，并获得K奖。他将通过关于研究设计和生物统计学的高级研讨会来发展他的研究和指导能力。他组建了一支优秀的团队，在特定领域指导导师，并为学员提供额外的丰富，包括UCSF生物统计咨询服务主任Peter Bacchetti博士和UCSF医学伦理项目前主任Bernard Lo博士。UCSF为Hecht博士及其学员的研究提供了极其丰富和支持性的科学环境;包括第二大NIH资助的CTSA，该项目与Hecht博士的K24计划紧密结合。Hecht博士的研究计划的具体研究目标是：目标1：测试身心干预的健康益处。目的2：应用创新方法来测试中西医结合疗法的作用机制。目标3：开发和测试生活方式干预的综合医学方法的新模式。目标4：在医疗服务不足的环境中开发中西医结合研究模式。总体而言，Hecht博士的研究项目旨在采用综合医学方法来解决我们一些最重要的慢性健康问题，包括肥胖、糖尿病和高血压。这个K24应用程序旨在提供指导和研究环境，以培养一个非常强大和多样化的研究人员群体，他们将在未来的中西医结合研究中发挥主导作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposed K24 award for Dr. Frederick Hecht, Professor of Medicine at the University of California (UCSF), and director of research at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Hecht is an internist with postdoctoral training in clinical epidemiology. He is director of the T32-funded UCSF Training in Research in Integrative Medicine (TRIM) fellowship program, and principal investigator of an NCCAM funded Center for Excellence in CAM Research PO1 investigating the metabolic and immunologic effects of meditation. He has mentored more than 25 postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty and published over 130 peer-reviewed articles. With this K24, Dr. Hecht aims to mentor four postdoctoral and two predoctoral fellows in the TRIM program each year, serving as primary mentor for half. He will mentor a regular panel of five to seven junior faculty with K awards. He will develop his research and mentoring capabilities with advanced seminars on research design and biostatistics. He has assembled an outstanding team to mentor the mentor in specific areas and provide additional enrichment for trainees, including Dr. Peter Bacchetti, director of the UCSF Biostatistics Consult service, and Dr. Bernard Lo, former director of the UCSF Program in Medical Ethics. UCSF provides an extremely rich and supportive scientific environment for Dr. Hecht's research and that of his mentees; including the second largest NIH funded CTSA, which is closely integrated with Dr. Hecht's K24 plans. The specific research aims of Dr. Hecht's research program are: Aim 1: Test the health benefits of mind-body interventions. Aim 2: Apply innovative approaches to test the mechanisms of action of integrative medicine therapies. Aim 3: Develop and test new models of integrative medicine approaches to lifestyle interventions. Aim 4: Develop models of integrative medicine research in medically underserved settings. Overall, Dr. Hecht's research program aims to bring integrative medicine approaches to bear on some of our most important chronic health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. This K24 application aims to provide mentoring and a research environment to develop an exceptionally strong and diverse group of researchers who will play leading roles in the future of integrative medicine research.
